Does the type of lip filler influence migration?

Filler migration, swelling, and granulomas can cause significant discomfort and cosmetic ramifications. Our office specializes in the use of enzymes and filler reversal techniques without hyaluronidase to help improve the results of botched cosmetic fillers, whether caused by Juvederm, Restylane, or foreign fillers. Our plastic surgery institute provides expertise in filler removal. We begin by examining the facial fillers and assessing the likelihood of fluctuance or liquid volumization. If appropriate, we use Hylenex, or other filler reversal agents to reduce swelling and filler migration. Hylenex can be targeted into the areas of concern using multiple layered injection techniques. If the filler does not completely resolve, then additional concentrations may be employed. The technique has the potential to reduce the filler and may slightly impact normal hyaluronic acid. Treatments are repeated and results can improve immediately and with time.

Hello and thanks for your question. To be honest migration is more about the way the filler is injected than the product itself. Its important you stick to well known brands of filler with a good range of clinical research behind them. Always go to a qualified and experienced practitioner for any injectable treatment, best wishes

No filler should migrate if it is administered by an experienced, board-certified dermatologist with expertise in lip filler techniques. My advice is to make sure the doctor you work with has the appropriate qualifications to perform the treatment. This is the best way to ensure you results are both natural and beautiful.
